About repository contents
To request the raw format or rendered HTML (when supported), use custom media types for repository contents.
Custom media types for repository contents
READMEs, files, and symlinks support the following custom media types:
application/vnd.github.raw
application/vnd.github.html
Use the .raw media type to retrieve the contents of the file.
For markup files such as Markdown or AsciiDoc, you can retrieve the rendered HTML using the .html media type. Markup languages are rendered to HTML using our open-source Markup library.
All objects support the following custom media type:
application/vnd.github.object
Use the object media type parameter to retrieve the contents in a consistent object format regardless of the content type. For example, instead of an array of objects
for a directory, the response will be an object with an entries attribute containing the array of objects.
You can read more about the use of media types in the API here.
